Prediction of pre-eclampsia using gestosis score

Area of Science:

• Obstetrics and Gynecology
• Cardiovascular Health in Pregnancy
• Clinical Prediction Modeling

Background:

• Pre-eclampsia (P-EP) is a serious hypertensive pregnancy condition (HPT-PG) arising after 20 weeks gestation.
• Characterized by vasospasm and vascular endothelial dysfunction, P-EP necessitates accurate predictive tools.
• Early evaluation and prediction of P-EP are crucial for maternal and fetal well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of the gestosis score (GT-S) in predicting pre-eclampsia (P-EP).
• To determine the association between GT-S and the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP).

Main Methods:

• A cohort of 229 pregnant patients was assessed across five prenatal visits.
• Data collection involved a questionnaire with 27 risk variables and the use of the Hypertensive Disease of Pregnancy (HDP) GT-S calculator app.
• Statistical analysis focused on the correlation between GT-S and the incidence of P-EP.

Main Results:

• A significant positive correlation was observed between elevated gestosis scores (GT-S) and the subsequent development of pre-eclampsia (P-EP).
• The GT-S demonstrated a strong predictive capability for identifying patients at risk of P-EP.

Conclusions:

• The gestosis score (GT-S) is a reliable and effective tool for predicting pre-eclampsia (P-EP).
• Integrating GT-S assessment into routine prenatal care can aid in the early identification and management of HPT-PG.
